Run Away From The Past: Tsotsi and Music


One thing that can be said for the film Tsotsi is how wonderfully arranged the soundtrack is in the film. The music throughout the film is rich in its feel, language, and style to reflect the environment and action of the film. One particular scene where this is done well is right after Tsotsi beat up Boston in the bar and then fled. The music is very fast paced and thrilling, allowing the audience to feel the adrenaline rush that Tsosti feels as he runs. The music does not lose tempo and continues this fast, strong pace as we see the scene flash back and forth between older Tsotsi and younger Tsotsi running away, letting the aduience know that he has something like this before in his life.
